Run the Marine Corps Marathon

It was such an exciting, exhausting, painful, emotional, fun, unforgettable experience!!! Every muscle in my body is screaming today but that’s okay because pain is temporary but pride is forever!!!

We’re in the final three weeks of training and the mileage is tapering down. I’m starting to get excited…and nervous!

even the “short” runs. I read this is the point at which many runners have to rededicate themselves to the goal and remember that this was a choice. Some days are tougher than others but we’re sticking with the program!

and I can feel a growing sense of awareness that I am really going to do this!!!

We’ve done a great job of sticking to the running schedule. The long runs are really starting to get long now but the fact that my husband is running right along with me makes it so much more bearable. I love that we’re doing this together!

Marathon training has officially begun!

Just finished registering myself and my husband. The next step is to lay out a training plan!

Registration opens May 9.
